Culturforum

Learn Italian ... Live Sicily

The Italian language school Culturforum was established in 2000 by two linguists deeply involved in foreign languages teaching.
Since then the school has acquired an international reputation: quality teaching in a friendly, informal, and stimulating atmosphere and personal attention to the students' needs and requirements on the part of the entire staff have become the school's distictive mark.

Our language courses in small groups (maximum 8 students per class, but 4/5 on average) are lerner centred and built around the students and around their previously acquired knowledge and linguistic competence. Our primary focus is to improve language for communication so that, once out of classes, students can be able to cope with the most different day-to-day communicative situations.
Culturforum is located in the very heart of historic Cefalù, a small medieval town with a typical Mediterranean atmosphere on the northern coast of Sicily: the sea, the unspoilt natural environment, the hospitality of the people and the rich cultural heritage make Cefalù the ideal place to combine learning Italian and experiencing a slice of Sicilian life with an enjoyable and stimulating holiday.

As we believe that learning a language should not be confined to time spent at school we organise a rich and varied social programme and a range of excursions, that will take you off the beaten track to allow you to discover the soul of Sicily, a region with some 6000 years of history, a real crossroad where different races and civilisations merged. Many different cultures have flourished on the island, leaving behind a trail of impressive monuments, buildings and works of art which still today inspire wonder and admiration.

The school also organises seminars, social and leisure activities and provides accommodation in comfortable apartments, hotels or at local people's place.

At school you will meet friendly and dynamic professionals always ready and willing to help you learn our language and discover our historically rich culture and the traditions and hidden charmes of our beautiful land, because what we setour heart on is to make your stay in Cefalù a unique and memorable holiday.
